ah, well i'm mary. i'm noisy in london, you're watching alger 0. so coming up on the program, court documents show the f. b i is investigating donald trump over possible breaches of the u. s. espionage act. europe's extreme summer fire, raging france in portugal, while drought is declared and parts of the u. k. dozens of dead thousands left homeless as flash floods ripped through eastern sudan. ah hello and welcome to the program. so mon rushdie the controversial and acclaimed author whose writings made him a target of death threats, is still in surgery several hours after being stabbed a literary event in new york state. the indian born author was attacked by

a man who stormed the stage at the to tell court institution were rushed. he was to, to deliver a lecture book the book, a prize winning novelist spent a decade in hiding after his 1988 book. the satanic verses was considered blasphemous. people later told of their shock, witnessing the attack. may all human came and attacked. salman rushdie. i thought that he was stab at about 6 to 8 times before they were able to grab a hold of the perpetrator. and then i was pretty much frozen in my steps and took quite a few minutes to even just get myself to a seat to sit down because there was just nobody nobody, nobody knew how to react. i mean, there were tons of people rushed the stage. when police have confirmed that a man has been arrested over the attack, the suspect has been identified as haiti. matar age 24, from fair view,

new jersey, or earlier today at approximately 10 47 am. guest speaker, solomon rushdie, age 75, and ralph henry rece age 73, had just arrived on stage at the institution or shortly thereafter. the suspect jumped on the stage and attacked mister rusty, stabbing him at least once in the neck. and at least once in the abdomen, kristen salome jones is live now from neil. can a confirmation earlier that she is still in surgery, but also on a 24 year old man from the jazzy, named as that the suspect? yeah, that's right. ah, he is still in surgery last we heard a police says we just heard informed us that he salman rushdie was stabbed in the mac and the abdomen. we know that he was being introduced

a on stage at the time the attack occurred. 24 year old hottie mater has been taken into custody. he's from the state of new jersey would have had to travel quite far in order to get to this event to do this act allegedly ah, we don't know what his motive was at this stage. police believe that he acted alone, they seized a backpack and some electronic devices. ands are trying to obtain search warrants for his home in those devices to get more information but a rush. he has been in surgery for quite some time, and his another man was on stage with him. henry reese, who was also supposed to be part of the talk, which was to focus on providing safe haven for artists in the united states as a cause that a rusty was passionate about in the other man. i also was an advocate for artists from and helped provide safe haven for artist from other countries. reminders of

the back on a control vesee surrounding ceylon rush, the why he went into hiding finance 10 years so in 1988, i'm just checking my notes here yet a 989. a year after his book, the satanic verses was released in 1988 i, the leader of iran, ayatollah rome khomeini was a issued, he denounced the book and i issued an order for him to be killed. many considered the book blasphemous and its portrayal of the prophet mohammed, and even before the khomeini made this statement, the book had been banned in many countries. there had been protests in many countries, book burnings. rusty was burned in effigy later,

the iranian government walked back. that order on but there was a lot of mistrust in while he was celebrated in the west, many or in other parts of the world, considered him a heretic. and and so he was a controversial character that had lived 10 years in hiding. he had more recently come out in public more. i'm in the united states. he was often interviewed in advance in television shows and on interview shows and so on. so here in the west we kind of forgot about as controversial past, but 1st many in other parts of the world. it was still very much alive. all right, thank you very much with all the latest on israel, kristen salumi. ah,

now donald trump is suspected of violating the espionage act off to the f b. i c's classified documents from his home while searching the former president's florida estate. earlier this week, a u. s. federal judges unsealed the warrant. the authorized the search document seized, included an executive pardon for a major, trump ally roger stone and information on the french president emanuel micron. let's go live now to hydro castro washington. so this f b i search warrant reveals it for president. donald trump is under investigation for 4 possible violation violations of the espionage actors. tell us a bit more about that act. heidi right, and this is a extraordinary suspicion. he would be the 1st to you as president, former president to ever be suspected, suspected of violating the espionage act, which is a federal law that dates back to world war one and covers not only acts of spying,

but also the miss handling of sensitive information that could be used to endanger u. s. national security or to help a foreign adversary. and this is a very serious charge if, if so charge against trump, which could carry some punishment of, of to 10 years in prison for each document that was mishandled. now we know that this search conducted by the f b i on monday at trump's mar, logo is state resulted in the seizure of 11 a set of classified materials for, of which, according to these unsealed court documents were top secret. there are some reporting that some of those contents may even include nuclear secrets, or even potentially us covert operations abroad. so this is something that the federal government is indeed taking very seriously. trump has not reacted directly to the declassified to the unsealing of these documents. but he has said that when

he left the white house, after his term ended, that he declassified all of these materials. whether or not that's true is unclear whether it even matters though, is up for debate as the espionage act does not turn on whether or not the sensitive materials were classified or not. right. so just to be clear, being investigated for violations of the espionage act. as well as the removal of heidi classified documents on the obstruction of justice, which he could potentially be imprisoned for what happens next? that's right, this is just the investigation thus far. trump has not been charged. that is very important to emphasize ultimately, what's next is federal investigators will go over this evidence that they seize to decide whether or not to level a criminal charge or several criminal charges against the former president. that would be a very complicated question for investigators,

because trump is still the most popular republican in the united states. he's the leader of that party defacto. and he very likely will run for another term in office in 2024. all of which complicates this exit tremendously. now, the justice department has been clear in saying that no one is above the law, including trump himself. however, in deciding whether or not to level a charge, they have to see whether they have the evidence against him and whether or not charging him a former president would be in the public interests. this is brand new territory, marry him. so there's no telling how they'll decide, thank you very much from washington dc, hydro castro, more than a 1000 fire fighters of battling a giant blaze in a pine forest in france is southwest ginger owned region is full small than $10000.00 people to leave the homes and bun, $374.00 square kilometres of forest. since tuesday, alger is bonded, smith reports now from the zoned firefighters in southwest friends are using

everything they can lay my hands on to beat back these rapidly spreading fires. 75 square kilometers of the year on region looks like this. drought and extreme temperatures have created an easily combustible mixture. natural navies could that play the de risk being complicated because the temperatures are going up and precipitation is dropping firefighters from across europe. these are romanian, have been drafted in to help fight the flames. this is an area that already caught fire caught fire again to the firefighters of hot to come back and douse the flames . one of the challenges for them is because the temperature is so high and the ground is so dry. as soon as the water hits the ground, it evaporates. so it takes a lot more water and a lot more effort to put out the flames. the risk of new fires is very severe. according to the local authorities. 10000 people have been evacuated from their

homes. mill knows he both, so fires are still active along the edge of the 40 kilometer perimeter. they're advancing little by little so we are trying to keep the st priorities we had at the start. that is to protect the people who've been evacuated and will keep protecting all these homes. villages here know they've had a lucky escape. these signs are everywhere, thanking the fire service for saving their homes. how's it all up? well, it's the 1st time i've seen a catastrophe like that above all, a catastrophe for the biodiversity. it's an enormous catastrophe. we're not going to have enough forests left. it's really serious, i said, oh, hook up. i'm clearing away. burnt trees from the roads so that fire fighters and volunteers and farm workers can get through and put out as much of the fire as they can. the forests will eventually recover. but as the planet warms, an extreme weather becomes more frequent, it might not be long before flames. licking up these trees again, bernard smith al jazeera in the year on southwest france and drought has been

declared. meanwhile, across large parts of england. 9 of the past 12 months had been dryer than normal across the u. k. the national farmers union is wanting that up to half of the potato, carrot and onion harvest. i expect her to fail, or challenge has a story. nice weather for ducks is what they say in england when it rains while this is anything but it's the driest summer for 50 years. grasses shrivelled to straw, the ground, his cracked reservoirs and rivers are low, and drought has officially been declared across large parts of england. in some areas, there are water companies bringing in place, for instance, temporary use, ban, cycled hose, bite bonds. that's the right thing for those companies to do where they have particular concerns. and it's a small sacrifice that people to make in order to ensure that we've got adequate water resources next year from space. the park conditions are just as obvious. the

picture on the left is july last year, a normal enough summer. on the right, august 2022, from green's to browns and yellows. a couple of months ago where i'm standing now would be in the water line of rush, me a pond on wimbledon, come in, but now look at it. you have to go good. 15 or so meters. this way to get to the new water line. this poem is now little more than a puddle, and this is happening across large parts of the country to with water systems like this. becoming extremely stressed, stressed enough here for the fish to barely have enough water to cover them. it's worrying stuff, any one paying attention. i find a very said why i did the, did you know and nature, the ground is so hide, take groups can have the words, there's nasty around. when you see things that poll,

you realize how different is in this grade of the graph. worried? his thoughts that last month england experienced his hottest ever temperature $40.00 degrees. the 10 hottest years since 1884 have all happened since 2002 and none of the coldest this summer may turn out to be an anomaly for the data suggest not. and that means more fires, more extreme temperatures and more droughts to come re talents. how does era under sad for you on the program that then protests encounter protest in the iraqi capital? baghdad, as mac tundra sander again draws thousands to the streets. and i'm joe hall in edinburgh, where the world famous fringes back from pandemic hibernation, only to confront of brand new crises, was spiraling cost of performing here. ah,
